If you've spent some time in the bow - worked a long range boat - or just enjoy the passion of the plug - throw out every 10ft jig stick you have and wrap 3 of these.

God bless technology - the best new long rod period.

Well, thats ONE opinion....

I've heard the same thing about the new Calstars too.....already have an Ulua, and am building a 10 ft GUSA now. Might have to get a few more sticks and see what I like best!

This ought to get quite interesting....

How is the weight on this blank compared to the Calstar GF100J or too the blue ulua blank i have the blue ulua blank and i like it it's not as heavy as the super seeker version i am currently wrapping a GF100J which i like it's thinner and lighter the the blue ulua i have? wish Phenix could come out with a 10' but 9 is the longest they have

One, what in the wide wide world of sports is going on down their?

Just kidding, take your time with the second stick, I still have not had the oppertunity to take it out yet, mabe this weekend, I hope.

I got to admit Hoops (reelveal) my Harnells have accumulated quite a bit of dust since Uluas first came out, I have three of them and they are a great stick from Calico on the plug, to the obvious YELLOWTAIL, but also for skip jigging. Those Uluas serve well for tossing a Tady9 (surface jigas well) and trying for a Yellowfin (or Bluefin) over 100lbs, especially when the fish are competing flyers.


The SScjbf100 that El Capo had wrapped is sweet but I do not see it as a rod I would take down to Clipperton or the Bank unless for fishing scooters, I do not think it has the cajones to fish for bigger Yellow Fin Tuna. I do love the rod and I have no plans to fish a long one soon and that is why I orginally got the blanks, I plan to fish the SCI style.

I'm still hung over from the river.

Besides the off color water at SCI, their are blowing the shit out of the Island like a whore on dollar day, I think a portion of the Island has been closed everyday for the last month, I do not think that hurts the fishing that much, (except for all the WSB swimming up side down on the bottom). But at $5.00 a gallon a run to the second Island is a gamble with not knowing if you'll get the boot. I got a great site to check the Navys schedule, and this week I will fish Cat or local.
